IDEAL Wireless Sensor System
System Overview
The IDEAL Wireless Sensor System provides environmental information to building automation systems (BAS) for HVAC control,
lighting control, and other automation functions. The system consists of wireless sensors, wireless repeaters, and wireless gateways.
Wireless Sensor Nodes
IDEAL Wireless Sensors collect readings of environmental conditions
and transmits that data to an access point/gateway which provides
the information to a building automation system (BAS).
2.4GHz – Each 1100 Series sensor transmits one packet to the G1
Series receiver (repeater or gateway) on a pre-designated channel
and network. The channel and network ID are programmed by the
gateway.
915MHz -Each 1200 Series sensor transmits two packets at a time,
one at a channel on the lower end of the unlicensed 915MHz ISM
band, and one on another channel at the upper end. The G2 Series
Gateway receivers have the ability to automatically change channels
in the event of interference. It is extremely unlikely that both
channels will simultaneously be blocked.
Various configurations and sensor types are available. The sensors
need to be configured to a gateway prior to use. Connect the USB
port inside the enclosure using a USB cable with a mini-B connector
to the “Sensor Interface” port on the wireless sensor gateway.
Building Automation System Gateway
The Wireless Sensor Building Automation System Gateway is the device that receives data from the wireless sensor nodes and in-
terfaces to a BAS through industry standard protocols. The gateway is also used to configure the sensor nodes prior to deployment.
Each gateway supports 26 Network IDs and 100 wireless sensors. The G1 Series supports 4 communication channels in the 2.4GHz
ISM band.

Gateway Configuration
The USB driver and HyperTerminal installation MUST be completed first in order for a PC to communicate to a gateway.
Installing the USB Driver for the Wireless BAS Gateway
A USB driver file is required for the Wireless Sensor BAS Gateway to communicate with a PC for configuration and data
output. The driver is located at the following page under software: http://www.idealwirelesssensors.com/support.
The same USB driver file is used for either the G1 Series gateway (2.4GHz) or G2 Series (915MHz).
USB driver installation
1. Download the file
2. Unzip to a preferred location.(right Click - Extract All)
3. Plug in the 24V power supply to the gateway. (58-PS-24V-T 24VDC power supply sold separately.) Conductor with the
colored sleeve is (+) and terminates into the port on left labeled 24V; the un-sleeved conductor is the ground and
terminates into the middle port labeled Ground and right port is unused.
4. Connect the Wireless BAS Gateway to the PC using a USB cable. Plug the USB cable into the computer, then plug the
other end into the “PC INTERFACE” port on the Wireless gateway.
5. The computer should recognize new hardware and ask for a driver. Manually install the driver as shown below. DO
NOT use Windows automatic driver search.

Installation and Configuration HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulator program is needed to display data from the Wireless BAS gateway and for
configuration of certain parameters
HyperTerminal is included with Windows XP and earlier versions and no installation is required. Windows Vista and Windows 7
users can download HyperTerminal from the following link http://www.idealwirelesssensors.com/files/HyperTerminal.zip
The download file is also found on the following page: http://www.idealwirelesssensors.com/support/
There are only two files in this ZIP package:
hypertrm.dll
hypertrm.exe
1. Unzip the files to a location of your choice and be sure to keep these files in the same directory. Do not launch
HyperTerminal until after the USB driver has been installed. This appendix describes how to configure HyperTerminal,
but the following settings are needed with any terminal emulator that is used:
Baud rate: 19200 bps
Data bits: 8 bits
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1 bit
Flow control: None
Emulation: ANSI or Auto Detect
Windows XP or Windows 2000
HyperTerminal is provided with Windows XP and earlier versions. To access the program use the following menu options:
Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal
Windows Vista or Windows 7
Go to the directory where HyperTerminal was installed from and double click on hypertrm.exe to launch the program.
2. Upon starting the program the dialog box may ask you if you would like to make HyperTerminal your default telnet
program. Select Yes or No to proceed.

Building Automation System Gateway
The Wireless Sensor Building Automation System Gateway (WSG) is the device that receives data from the wireless
sensor nodes and interfaces to a BAS through industry standard protocols. The gateway is also used to configure the sensor nodes
prior to deployment. Each gateway supports 26 Network IDs and 100 wireless sensors. The 58-G1-xxxx supports 4
communication channels in the 2.4GHz ISM band.
The WSG has integrated mounting flanges and can be mounted to surfaces such as wood or drywall with appropriate
screws. Avoid mounting the gateway directly to a metal surface as this can affect wireless reception. If mounting on a metal sur-
face is the only option, it is recommended to insert non-metallic material of at least 1/4” between the gateway and metal surface to
create a stand-off distance. The gateway can be powered by 24VAC or 24VDC. (58-PS-24V-T 24VDC power supply sold separate-
ly.) Conductor with the colored sleeve is (+) and terminates into the port on left labeled 24V; the un-sleeved conductor is the ground
and terminates into the middle port labeled Ground and right port is unused.
Gateway Configuration
Note - see page 2-7 above in order to install the USB driver and HyperTerminal. This MUST be completed in order for a PC to com-
municate to a gateway. Each WSG BAS gateway is pre‐configured with a Network ID and a communication channel. The Network
ID can be changed as needed, or to configure a gateway as a redundant node for higher availability BAS operation. The gateway is
configured through two ports as follows:
Parameter Configuration Port
Network ID USB port - “PC INTERFACE”
There are 26 pre-set values for the Network ID designated by the letters A-Z.
Communication Channel
(G1 Series only)
USB port - “PC INTERFACE”
There are 4 communication channels designated by numbers 1-4.
(The channels are based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.)
Sensor Binding
USB port - “SENSOR INTERFACE”
Sensors are configured (bound) to the gateway through a USB cable from the gateway
to the sensor node.
Wired Network ID Ethernet port
(models with external RS485 or FTT-10 connector have an internal Ethernet port)
IP address Ethernet port
(models with external RS485 or FTT-10 connector have an internal Ethernet port)

Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a BAS Gateway
A wireless sensor node must first be configured and associated to a particular gateway (access point) before data will be received
by that gateway. This is a simple procedure that only takes a few seconds per sensor node. The items that are configured are Net-
work ID and Sensor ID, and these items are automatically assigned by the gateway.
Wireless Gatway - Interface Ports and
Status LEDs
Wireless Gateway - Power Connector
